Thanks! Mushroom require moisture to grow, so Mars must not be as dry as most people think.

Mushrooms need water for their fruit to "grow". That is why a saucer and a humidity tent is included with Mushroom Kits TM.

Mushrooms have no skin so they can lose water to the atmosphere very easily. That is why they grow in high humidity (lots of water vapor in the air) conditions. If the humidity is too low the cells lose water faster than it can be "pumped" in and the immature mushroom dries up and dies.

Terrence McKenna right again!

No one has ever seen a perfect circle, nor a perfectly straight line, yet everyone knows what a circle and a straight line are.Perceived circles or lines are not exactly circular or straight, and true circles and lines could never be detected since by definition they are sets of infinitely small points.
